Continental Autonomous Mobility Germany GmbH has 21 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are assigned to 21 distinct examiners and 17 distinct art units, showing that the workload is widely distributed across examination assignments. The matching action and examiner figures indicate that repeated examiner relationships are not a central feature of this profile.
LEE, TYLER J is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel therefore has little opportunity to consolidate strategy around a single examiner. Centralized docket management, supported by art-unit and technical grouping, is more relevant than a narrow examiner-focused approach.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (10%) |
| §103 only | 8 (40%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (40%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
